I just hook them and if the fourth finds the hatch, so be it.

It's not worth the time to me to slug #3 and get into a game of hide & go seek with survivor #4 (especially if they circle around and pick up their partner cause now I'm back to hide & go seek without a built in slug timer).

I'm just gonna kill them and let the chips fall where they fall.

You make the game worse by not continuously being part of the solution.
I'm a Killer Main, no matter what my previous games have been like I don't start toxic to the Survivors, even if they had been toxic to me in a previous game. Every game is a fresh start. And I especially don't start toxic to people I've never played against before. But if someone is toxic to me then I'll tunnel and slug them for a bit and not feel too bad about it.
When I play Survivor I'm not toxic to the Killer, even if they are a face camper or tunneler. I don't clicky-clicky or t-bag or vault point or any of that. I don't show toxic behavior, even if they are themselves being toxic.
Being toxic to Killers because Survivors were toxic to you as Killer only keeps the cycle of toxicity going. You have to be better than it.
Being toxic to Survivors because Killers were toxic to you as Survivor only keeps the cycle of toxicity going. You have to be better than it.

All of this

I think of myself as a nice killer (won't facecamp/tunnel/proxy camp).

If a group of survivors are being a holes, my nice killer instinct will go away (I'll still play smart and not FC or tunnel or whatnot unless it's to my advantage but I will use any trick in my killer bag if strategically advantageous) but for THAT game alone.

There is nothing to be gained for anyone to punish the players in the next game as they didn't do anything...

in Karma challenge Comment by tippy2k2 May 28, 2021

I didn't watch the video (I'm just assuming the survivors were world class awful based on your comments) but to me, this isn't really a point in the games favor either.

I primarily play killer at red rank so I'm well aware that sometimes you get Seal team SWF and sometimes you get a team of toddlers who somehow managed to turn on and start a video game. NEITHER of these games are fun and the game is suffering greatly for it.

Getting used as a virtual punching bag by ST SWF sucks. Being able to sleep walk through a team of sentient potatoes isn't fun. Unfortunately the game is almost exclusively one or the other nowadays.

THAT to me is the bigger problem and a major reason I think the killer population is plummeting at high ranks. When we win, there's no satisfaction as we basically just crushed ants but when we lose, those survivors commonly go out of their way to make it as unfun as humanly possible as winning isn't enough for them, they need to embarrass the killer...

in This is why people say that killer isn't as hard as people claim Comment by tippy2k2 May 27, 2021

A lot of killers have become sick and tired of being treated like a punching bag by red ranks

I've talked about it before that this is almost an impossible thing for the game to fix unfortunately. At lower ranks, survivors need the speed of gens and other things to stay where they're at or they're going to get absolutely curb stomped and destroyed.

However, at high ranks where survivors know all the little tricks and ways to really game the system, a killer is going to lose against four equally skilled survivors. Add in that a lot of these red ranks (or at least enough of them) know this and do everything they can to make sure that they win AND they maliciously go out of their way to make the game as miserable as possible for the killer.

For some strange reason, this has disheartened a lot of killers and caused them to stop playing...

I'm super excited. I haven't ever paid full price for DLC but it might change this time. The new AI Zeds feel like they could be a nice shakeup to gameplay this game really needs...

I am a little worried about the new map though. The RPD station is huge in the game and at least from the stream, everywhere on the first and second floor seemed to be present. That's gonna be a huge pain for killers if it's truly as big as the RPD station in RE2...

@bm33 said:
It takes so much effort to report someone it's ridiculous.
I was reporting a killer for body blocking another survivor in a corner for the match. My ps4 for some reason didn't record the whole match, instead the recording started just as I was about to run away from where the dude was trapped with crows. Sent screen shot showing there were gens left with dude blocked from second it showed him at start of match then video from spectating EGC when the killer kept him trapped until timer ran out.
Can't imagine how many people get away with cheating, working with killer, body blocking, etc. because the person reporting didn't record the game or the recording didn't take. I get they want proof but something should be done on their end to record matches.

All of this

It takes longer to submit a damn report than it does to play a match. It's absolutely bonkers how awful the report system in this game is.

Hell, I would be willing to be my life savings that the majority of players don't realize you have to submit an actual report on the computer like this was 1999 rather than just being able to hit the "Report" button in-game...

To be fair, BHVR could release Jason with Candyman with Nemesis with The Flying Spaghetti Monster with Slenderman with FNAF with Pinhead with Chucky with My Little Pony with "Insert your personal wet dream killer" and it wouldn't matter all that much if the game is running so badly that you can't play it...

Unfortunately I think BHVR is perfectly content to just run out the clock.

Maybe at some point they had planned on making good on their promise to optimize consoles or maybe it was always BS but it's clear they have no intention of fixing the Xbox One/PS4 issues and are hoping the complaints will just fade away as people upgrade to the Series X/PS5 instead.

in Why people still keep dc'ing and suiciding Comment by tippy2k2 May 23, 2021

It's true...

I like to think that I'm a "nice" killer (if I get a unsafe unhook, I'll generally slug the poor bastard instead of hooking them again to at least give them a punishment for the bad play without screwing over the unhooked) and do my best not to tunnel or camp but it's amazing how often these actions get me met with a GG EZ.

I can absolutely understand why someone who started as a nice killer would start leaning more into a Sweaty Tryhard which the survivors then complain about. Some of you survivors need to look a long hard look in the mirror when you wonder where all the "nice" killers went...

Oooh I love unexpected synergy. I was doing the Yui breakout challenge and the person on the killers shoulders had flip flop power struggle.

It was absolutely unexpected. We were both solos and both happened to be on Xbox so we bonded over our shared "Holy #########, did that seriously just happen?!?!" moment.

While this game can be incredibly frustrating at times, these kind of organic moments that you get every so often are why we keep playing :D

in Hardest you ever "outplayed" the killer? Comment by tippy2k2 May 19, 2021

I had a killer who just got insanely unlucky as I had exactly what was needed for the situation. My fellow survivor is on the ground near the exit gate (probably ten feet away so close enough it's there but not close enough to realistically escape). I am injured and trying to pick her up and I happen to have that needle addon thing on me, which I use on myself before starting to pick her up.

The killer for whatever reason waits for me to pick up the lady instead of just hitting me. She gets up but she happens to have Soul Guard so the killer hits her for wound and she bolts out the door. The killer then swings at me but my needle has kicked in now so I go from injured to full health as they hit me, now allowing me to escape too.

So many things lined up for that play to work but The Entity smiled upon us that game...

Like...I wasn't even playing all that well (I was competent but I wasn't anywhere near my A Game) but it was like playing when I first started and getting nothing but survivors who hid like scared rabbits anytime my radius came anywhere near them. I would chase their competent survivor for a minute and change, look up, and realize they're still sitting at 5 gens.

A nice ego boost getting a bunch of 4Ks every game but the games were just boring as every team had (at least) one scared bunny potato on their team. I don't even know if I hit EGC in the half dozen games I played.

in You ever just.... ruin your day / night by playing DBD? I sure did today Comment by tippy2k2 May 17, 2021

Most of my challenges are complete except for one for the killer and basically a half dozen for the survivor (but they're all the same challenge)

For the killer, it's the "Sacrifice four in the basement" one. I've gotten very close but I'm not a big fan of basement builds or whatnot because I just find it so boring so I try to "naturally" get that one. However, that's almost certainly never going to happen as naturally getting four survivors sacrificed down there through luck/circumstance feels damn near impossible. At some point I might just have to do a basement build, get the challenge, and then not worry about it again.

For the survivors, it's the "Get X number of pallet stuns in one match". At Red Rank, killers just respect the stun too much so it's incredibly difficult to get one stun against many players, let alone 3 or 4 in one match. A lot has to go my way for it to happen.

Out of all the tombs left, there's less than a dozen challenges I haven't gotten so I'm not particularly worried about getting any of the remaining ones done. It would be nice just for the "completionist" in me but honestly it's not a big deal either way.

Sure, sometimes some poor innocent bastard gets caught by it to but for the most part, it's almost exclusively used to punish jerk teams. It doesn't come into play very often (to the point where playing it is almost certainly a detriment to me as I'm basically playing with 3 perks for 80% of my games) but the utter F'ing SMUG SATISFACTION I get when I play some jerk Seal Team SWF squad that get themselves caught with under a minute left makes it so very very very very very very very very worth it...

This is the only acknowledgment I've seen from them. Almost makes me think it's not limited but more like the Silent Hill charm, just instead of code you find it during EGC. Would hope if it was limited they'd say something just because it would suck if people missed out if it was only a week due to not knowing it existed.

Play as killer, open door yourself to start egc, look for gnome while survivors teabag in the exit. I've seen gnome mostly by trees, boxes, rocks, or the smaller stuff to loop around in the open. I personally haven't seen it in buildings or jungle gyms.

Yeah, I'm probably just going to burn a killer attempt at some point to just hunt it down during EGC. Play as Mr Ding Dong Man so I can zip around the map like an invisible road runner and track that little gnome down.

I'm more wondering how long this event is going to be. Is this something I need to dedicate a game or two to make sure I get or is this event a week or so and I can just wait until I organically stumble into it myself?

You're certainly free to do it but I find it isn't all that useful

You're going to do one of two things; eliminate the person with the key but that will make the Hatch spawn faster (so if they were playing with a team or if the solo just pays attention to where that person died, the key is still in play except now you might have made the Hatch spawn) or you're going to focus all your energy on tunneling one person while everyone else hammers the gens and walks away

For myself, I actually play to keep all the survivors alive as long as I can as I don't want the Hatch to spawn until either the end game or as late as possible in the match when everyone is ready to be hung up for their Death Hook.

When you say "your favorite killer" do you mean it only works if you play as the killer BHVR chooses, whatever killer you choose most often, or just playing killer period?

I like the idea but honestly it likely needs to be more often. There is a huge gap between survivor pool and killer pool right now and giving killers extra bp for playing literally cost BHVR nothing (they don't need to adjust balance or adjust anything to make killer a little more attractive for people to try and BP isn't worth any kind of real money they'd lose if they gave it away).

Obviously I don't see the numbers they see so maybe it's somehow not as simple as too many survivors, not enough killers but something needs to be done about these queue times before people start to get frustrated with it and leaving...

Other places arguably being more toxic than DBD doesn't make DBDs community not toxic. I've never had a game like this where I get so many pissy and/or mocking messages thrown my way (and yes before it is asked, I'm 35 so I grew up in CoD and Halo lobbies so it's not that I've never seen "true" toxic gaming groups; we didn't have Xbox Live Parties to shield us back then! You dealt with the screeching 10 year olds or you didn't use a mic).

I imagine that part of this is due to the one on one nature of DBD. Some 10 year old spouting off about banging my mom in a CoD lobby is a kid just talking out loud to anyone listening but DBD has people sending messages directly to me.
